One-Pan Balsamic Chicken with Roasted Vegetables
"You might have made my One-Pan Caribbean Jerk Chicken with Vegetables. It’s a similar idea where you marinate chicken and throw the chicken with the marinade on a bed of vegetables when you are ready to bake. However, this time, I’ve learned that if the chicken is directly on top of the vegetables, the vegetables are going to be steamed instead of roasted. I guess you can get away with it if you use chicken drumsticks like I did in the one-pan jerk chicken recipe. But chicken thighs or chicken breasts have a larger surface. Once you cover them on your vegetables, they won’t have room to breath in the oven. As a result, you are steaming the vegetables."
NotesMarinating the chicken overnight is going to enrich the flavor even more.

Preparation Time15 min
Cooking Time25 min
Ingredients
- 8 boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 8 ounces white button mushrooms, halved or quartered
- 8 ounces Brussel sprouts, halved
- 1 pint grape tomatoes
- 1 medium red onion, roughly chopped
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- Extra virgin olive oil non-stick cooking spray
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh rosemary
- 1 1/2 tablespoons fresh oregano
-
Rinse chicken thighs and pat dry with paper towels. Add the thighs into a large Ziploc bag.
-
Make the marinade by adding garlic and fresh herbs into a food chopper (I used a hand chopper), chop them up. Remove the blade, add balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper, sugar, and olive oil into the chopper. Mix and scrape the sides of the food chopper to make sure all the herbs are mixed in.
-
Pour the marinade into the Ziploc bag, zip up, and shake to coat the chicken well. Set in the fridge.
-
Now, preheat oven to 425°F. In the meantime, spray a large roasting pan with EVOO non-stick cooking oil. Prepare all vegetables and place them in the pan in a single layer. Season the veggies with salt and pepper. Place a roasting rack on top of the prepared vegetables, lay marinated chicken on the rack in a single layer. Pour the marinade into the pan.
-
Roast for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of your chicken reaches 165°F. Serve chicken with roasted vegetables.

Oh, wow, I really want to try this recipe, but I really do not like brussel sprouts or mushrooms. Are there other veggies you think would work well in this dish? I was thinking something along the lines of broccoli, mini corn, or some water chestnuts might go well with some carrots.

Yummmmm this chicken sounds absolutely delicious! My mouth is watering just reading the recipe. I can't wait to make this. Also quick and easy with everything cooked at once. Shove it in the oven, sit back with a glass of wine and relax before eating! Who could ask for more?
